DWARF YELLOW MILO MAIZE,—This is a splendid 
non-saccharine Sorghum feed crop. In the lower and more 
humid districts it grows to a height of from 6 to 10 feet, 
while on the other hand crops raised in higher regions 
are very dwarfish, only about from 4% to 6 feet tall.

pounds per acre, from March to August. 1 I1hb., 25c.; 4% bu., 
$2.00; 50 lb. bu., $3.50, not prepaid. 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN.—Grows 4 to 5 feet high. The 
stems are very leafy and keep green and brittle, unlike 
other sorghums, which harden. Makes an excellent fodder, 
either green or dried. For grain, sow 10 pounds to the 
acre, in rows 3 feet apart. For fodder, sow from one- 
half to one bushel, either broadeast or in drills. Very 
good poultry feed. Sow from March to June. 1 I1b., 25c., 
postpaid; % bu., $2.00; 50 lb. bu., $3.50, not prepaid. 
FETERITA.—It is from 10 to 15 days earlier than kaffir 
Corn, makes good fodder, in some instances made an ex- 
cellent yield of grain without having received any rain 
from the day it was planted until it was harvested. No 
variety of seed of any kind has ever sprung so suddenly 
into such popular favor. Feterita has taken the country 
by storm. Fifteen pounds per acre, Sow from March to 
May. 1 1b., 25c., postpaid; 4% bu., $2.25; 50 lb. bu., $4.00, 
not prepaid. 
EVERGREEN BROOM CORWN.—There are many farmers 
who make this a most profitable crop, One acre will pro- 
duce about 500 ewt. of brush and nearly 40 bushels of 
seed which is equal in value almost’to oats for feed. Re- 
quires soil similar to corn, same cultivation, but should 
be planted some later in the season. Put ground in prime 
condition. We think that more of our Southern farmers 
should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profitable. 
Frequently planted in drills 3% feet apart, leaving plants 
6 inches apart; 20 pounds to an acre. Sow during March 
and April. 1 1b., 25c., postpaid; % bu., $2.75; 46 lb. bu., 
$5.00, not prepaid. 
BLACK SPANISH BROOM CORN.—A standard type, 
variety increasing in popularity, its two main features, 
first, length of the brush, second, the freedom of the 
center of the stem, both of which are very important 
factors with the growers. 1 Ih., 40c.; 10 lbs., $3.50, post- 
paid; 4% bu., $4.00; 1 bu., $7.00, not prepaid. 
JOHNSON GRASS.—Perennial and has cane-like roots, 
or, more properly, underground stems, from the size of a 
goose quill to that of the little finger. These roots are 
tender, and hogs are fond of and thrive on them in Winter. 
One to one and a half bushels per acre. The leaf, stalk 
and panicle of this grass resembles those of other sorghums.- It grows on any land 
where corn will grow, and, like the latter, the better the land the heavier the crop. It 
should be cut while tender, and then all live stock are fond of it, for a few weeks are 
enough to render it so coarse and hard that aninials refuse it or eat it sparingly, When 
once planted it cannot be eradicated. Sow during March and April. 1 Ih., 40c., postpaid; 
% bu., $2.50; 25 lb bu., $4.50, not prepaid. 
SUNFLOWER. 
MAMMOTE RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER.—Single heads measure 12 to 15 inches jin 
diameter, and contain an immense amount of seed which is highly valued by all farmers 
and poultry breeders who have tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. It is 
the best egg-producing food known for poultry, its leaves make capital fodder, while its 
strong thick stalks can be profitably used as fuel. Three pounds of seed will plant 
one acre. FPacket, 10c,; lb., 50c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $3.00, not prepaid.
